MN State Rep. Causes Stir With Tweet About Abortion, Parenthood

MINNESOTA — State Rep. Liz Boldon deleted a tweet about abortion and parenthood after it drew a considerable amount of negative attention on Sunday.

Boldon tweeted that "Being a mom is the hardest job I'll ever have. No one should be forced to be a parent. #AbortionIsHealthcare."

However, Twitter now says the tweet was deleted by the author.

Boldon, who was first elected in 2020 and is running for reelection this fall, is a strong supporter of abortion rights. She called the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June a "clear assault on human rights and a decision which will result in thousands of deaths and dangerous under-the-table procedures."

Following the June decision, abortion remains legal in Minnesota, but has been outlawed or severely restricted in the surrounding states and in much of the Midwest.

Patch has reached out to Rep. Liz Boldon for comment.
